Scotland Defeats England 30-21 in Six Nations Clash with Van der Merwe's Historic Hat-trick

Duhan van der Merwe's remarkable three tries led Scotland to a historic fourth consecutive win over England in the Six Nations tournament at Murrayfield.

With his unprecedented Calcutta Cup hat-trick, van der Merwe was the standout player, while Finn Russell’s flawless kicking kept Scotland ahead in a messy match.

Despite a slow start and trailing 10-0 early on, Scotland revived their performance, ending the first half in the lead, 17-13. England tried to respond, with George Furbank and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso scoring their first international tries, but couldn't match Scotland’s pace.

Now both teams hold two wins from three games. Scotland will next face Italy, while England prepares to take on the undefeated champions, Ireland.

Scotland coach Gregor Townsend celebrated the huge victory and aims for further improvement, while England coach Steve Borthwick acknowledged their increased errors and the need to improve for their upcoming match against Ireland.

Referee for the game was Andrew Brace from Ireland, supported by touch judges Chris Busby and Eoghan Cross, also from Ireland, with TMO Marius Jonker from South Africa.
